Trampled by Turtles October 12, 2007

Trampled by Turtles is an original, non-traditional bluegrass band from Duluth, Minnesota. Their energetic live performances and two well-received albums, 'Songs From a Ghost Town' and 'Blue Sky and the Devil,' have gained them a large and loyal fan base throughout the Midwest and beyond. As one of the leading lights of the 1990s roots rock revival, The Bottle Rockets paved the way for Uncle Tupelo, Blue Mountain, The V-Roys and others, thanks to a fusion of Southern boogie, country-folk and crunching rock 'n' roll. With influencing including Mississippi John Hurt, Rev. Gary Davis and Dave Van Ronk, Charlie Parr plays original and traditional folk and Piedmont-style blues, accompanying himself on National resonator guitars, 12-string guitar and banjo.
